You can set up the environment variable PERL5LIB to point to your
private library. Depending on what platform you're on and how you are
invoking SpamAssassin, this would look more or less like

  PERL5LIB=$HOME/my/lib:$HOME/my/other/lib/too
  export PERL5LIB
  path/to/spamassassin -options

This is the generic technique for using your own libraries with Perl.
Look in the Perl documentation for more instructions if you need them.

(For completeness, you could also change SpamAssassin to either change
@INC at BEGIN{} time or, preferrably, use lib "path/to/your/lib";.)

Hope this helps,
